Review: Robert Townsend revisits 1991 film in 'Making the Five Heartbeats'

His battles with studio bean counters, temperamental actors and his own limitations (it was tough faking the fact that, despite also playing one of the singing-and-dancing leads, he couldn’t dance), would ultimately pale next to the disappointing reception the movie would encounter in theaters, although it would later find love on home video.
